Abstract [en]

This paper presents a new reconfiguration module for asymmetrical multilevel inverters in which the capacitors are used as the DC links to creates the levels for staircase waveforms. This configuration of multilevel converter makes a reduction in DC sources. On the other hand, it is possible to generate 13 levels with lower DC sources. The proposed module of multilevel inverter generates 13 levels with two unequal DC sources (2VDC and 1VDC). It also involves two chargeable capacitors and 14 semiconductor switches. The capacitors are self-charging without any extra circuit. The lower number of components makes it desirable to use in wide range of applications. The module is schematized as two back-to-back T-type inverters and some other switches around it. Also, it can be connected as cascade modular which lead to a modular topology with more voltage levels at higher voltages. The proposed module makes the inherent creation of the negative voltage levels without any additional circuit (such as H-bridge circuit). Nearest level control switching modulation (NLC) scheme is applied to achieve high quality sinusoidal output voltage. Simulations are executed in MATLAB/Simulink and a prototype is implemented in the power electronics laboratory which the simulation and experimental results show a good performance.
